Barefoot In Rain: A Book Of Villanelles

In those rare moments of my dream, I saw my youth with fondness, and I was barefoot in rain, it seems. Dressed in loincloth of simple theme, I ran till I was away from land, In those rare moments of my dream. Amanullah Khan is passionate about villanelles, a poem focused on a single point that circles around and brings the reader back to the same point. Most likely created in the Italian fields at harvest time in the 1600s, villanelles have been inspiring fans of verse for centuries. In a thought-provoking book of poems dedicated to villanelles, Khan lyrically reflects on a variety of topics that include current affairs, the challenges of life, and humanity's interactions with nature. His verse explores humility, modern cities, places of mirth, the baggage of a leader, the bombing in Ukraine, the doomsday clock, the land of Punjab, and much more. Barefoot in Rain is a diverse collection of poetry that shines a light on the villanelle while exploring life, nature, modern events, and everything in between.
